Blurb:

Rhianna never knew her parents—never even knew where she came from, so she found it extremely difficult to believe the two men claiming she was their missing child bride.

Keenas and Jorel were convinced Rhianna was the princess promised to them years ago. She’d gone missing as a baby, her parents killed by the resistance that refused to accept peace between their two planets. Unfortunately, she didn’t believe a word they said. So they take matters into their own hands and kidnap her.

Too bad they didn’t count on the man who raised her, along with one of the most powerful royal families in the universe, cutting a path through the galaxy to find her or the leader of the resistance, still determined to see her dead and the treaty broken.

No one said marriage was easy, but this one could kill them all.

Excerpt:

“Take me home!” she screamed.

“I am taking you home!”

“My home!”

With a sigh, Keenas stepped through the door of his suite and threw her on the bed. She landed with a grunt, but before she could get up, he threw himself on top of her, pressing her into the mattress beneath him. Her startled gaze met his then narrowed in fury as he pinned her wrists above her head.

It was a stupid move. He realized it the second he felt her firm breasts flattened against his chest. His cock hardened and he pressed it into the soft flesh of her stomach. Instantly, she paled, her body becoming rigid and tense as she met his gaze with unflinching bravery. She impressed him. As well as infuriated him.

“It appears you will make quite a queen, Rhianna, despite your lack of training.”

She spit in his face, startling him and he reached up to wipe her spittle from his cheek with his free hand. His nostrils flared as he glared down at her. Ice blue eyes flashed fire and sent blood pounding through his veins. Damn, he wanted her.

“I’ve about reached the end of my patience, Rhianna,” he growled.

She bucked beneath him and his hips shifted, landing right between her thighs. The heat of her pussy pressed into his cock and he groaned, closing his eyes for a moment to catch his breath. She’d quieted as well, her startled gaze watching him with trepidation.

“I guess you’ll learn to be still,” Keenas growled, then pressed his cock into her mound.

Her lips parted as she drew in a sharp breath of air, but her body remained motionless.

“If you plan on raping me…get it over with,” she snarled.

Keenas chuckled. The flare of heat in her eyes gave her away. She was just as aroused as him, whether she would admit it or not. “I can assure you, my queen. When Jorel and I take you, it will not be rape. You’re just as aroused as I am by our predicament.”

“I am not!” she shouted. “You’re an arrogant ass.”

“And you’re a delectable little wildcat,” he whispered, his lips closer to hers.

She smelled of jasmine and spice. A heady combination for a woman, and he inhaled her scent deep into his lungs. Grinding his hips, he put more pressure against her mound and the heat in her gaze intensified. Her chest rose and fell with her shallow breaths, pressing her breasts harder against his chest.

“Get off me, Keenas,” she gasped softly.

He pulled away and stared at her in surprise. “You know I’m Keenas? How?”

“Does it matter?” she asked, her voice soft and raspy with desire.

“How, Rhianna?” he asked again, not used to people refusing his requests.

With a sigh, she glanced away, turning her face toward the window. “Jorel has a softer face. Yours is harder and your eyes are more intense.”

“Interesting,” he murmured. “Usually people cannot tell us apart. Even those who have known us for years.”

She shrugged. “It’s just something a woman would notice.” Her face turned back toward his. “Now please get off me.”

“Starting without me?” Jorel asked with amusement from the doorway and Keenas glanced at him for a second before turning back to Rhianna. She kept her gaze on his, her eyes wary and watchful, the dull glow of desire simmering just below the surface.

“Had she broken your ribs?” Keenas asked, his gaze still on Rhianna’s beautiful face. Her eyes widened slightly as she turned to stare at Jorel.

“Yes. Two of them. You have quite a swing, little one,” Jorel replied with a slight grin. “Doc fixed them up, though.” He slapped his hand against his ribs. “See, just like new. Gotta love technology. Were you worried?”

“I can assure you, I wasn’t,” she snarled, making Keenas grin and Jorel chuckle.

Jorel moved to stand next to them. Gently he drew his fingers down her cheek, making her stiffen beneath Keenas. He really should get up. Otherwise, it could turn into a very uncomfortable situation. She wasn’t ready for this. Hell, she didn’t even believe them.

“Having you as a queen will be quite interesting,” Jorel whispered, tracing the line of her jaw with his finger.

She scowled, crinkling her nose adorably. “Even if I was your queen, after this do you really think I would stick around?”

“You’re not giving us a chance, Rhianna. We told you we could prove it medically, but we have to get you home first.”

“How do I know you didn’t rig it?” she cried in exasperation.

“Rhianna,” Keenas sighed. “You’re making this much more difficult than it has to be.”

Jorel’s finger moved lower to circle her taunt nipple through the material of her top. A blush moved up her cheeks, and fire blazed from her eyes as she glared up at his brother.

“We should just show her how good we are in bed. Maybe if she’s mindless from multiple orgasms, she’ll be easier to handle,” Jorel said thoughtfully and Rhianna growled deep in her chest.

“Try it,” she snarled.

Jorel grinned, and then tugged at the hem of his shirt, pulling it over his head.
